DC vs SRH, IPL 2025: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first against Delhi Capitals (DC) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam on Sunday.

Axar confirmed that there will be just one change in the team with KL Rahul coming in for Sameer Rizvi in the XI. Meanwhile, Natarajan is not yet in the line-up of Delhi Capitals.

Fresh from their thrilling chase against Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals will aim to continue their winning momentum by making Visakhapatnam a successful hunting ground in their upcoming match.

After a bright start in IPL, Sunrisers Hyderabad hit rock bottom with a loss against Lucknow Super Giants in their second match. Set against the backdrop of 286 runs against Rajasthan Royals, becoming victors with a 42-run margin, the SRH went down with less than 200 runs scored against the LSG and met a disheartening loss.

Speaking at the time of toss, SRH skipper Pat Cummins said, "We'll have a bat. Afternoon game, tends to be hot. Looks like a good wicket, put a big score hopefully. That was the trend last year - we put on some big scores. So, playing to our strengths. We weren't too worried either way. Playing the way we do, you got to accept that some games it's not going to work out. One positive from the last game is we were a long way from our best, few things went wrong and we still got almost 200 runs. The boys are still positive. so keen to get out there. Zeeshan comes in for Simarjeet."

DC captain Axar Patel said, "We would have batted as well as it's an afternoon game. In the last game, the ball was doing more in the second innings. We'll look to restrict them to a low total. We have played one game here, we were working on our plans based on our opponents. We need to be brave as a bowling unit. We have certain plans and we have an aggressive mindset. One change, Sameer Rizvi is out, KL Rahul is in."
